Harchenko Alexandr (c.j. mind), born in Moscow`s USSR (the happy child of the Olympic Games of 1980 year) 1980 of a birth. As well as for any other person, who have propensity to art perception, the hobby for music has begun at the earliest age when the electronic sound was in wonder, and sounding of rattling dynamics tracks of Modern Talking and Jean-Michel Jarre inexplicably touched invisible valves under not in time yet to coarsen a cover. I always was surprised works of sound producers in those films, where music as though "floated", without the accurate organization brought mood and atmosphere in an event on the screen. In search of a similar sound on spirit I has casually encountered Martin Landers's radio-transfer, where having heard then things yet known to me John Serrie, I was ill once and for all, becoming the admirer of ambient-culture (many-sided and unpredictable on unexpected finds in «sound constructing»). In 2001, having encountered Robert Rich and Alio Die album – «Fissures», I has understood (without strong sound and other «abracadabra») force of influence on the person of such music can be how much powerful. From this point on for me the modern history has begun. The history full of new paints, ideas and ardent desire to give them freedom, having shared with any the feelings and thoughts. I simply wished to make by means of music the person a little better, having touched in person the rusted strings.
If to speak about creative experience - the first modest attempts in development of an electronic component of a sound took place in 1997 when I casually found such program as «Scream Tracker». Despite poor enough on that time a sound card and 80386 computer, by means of this program it was possible to embody the daring ideas, which seemed for me earlier impossible to realization in view of limitation of the equipment (more precisely its total absence). Record process in something was similar to work of the conductor when in your presence there is a whole arsenal of sounds surrounding you, and when you have unique possibility to force them to «dance under your pipe». Genuine delight and understanding of that you conclude in a file in volume only 400-800 kilobyte an ideological component, - here that arose at the author when one foot it at institute (high school), and is already opened by a head in 14 inch monitor with the sat down electro-beam tube, - «hello – welcome in DOS». In general, of course, beauty, and only. As a whole leaving modules (in the subsequent on Impulse Tracker, Mod PlugTracker) did not shine with especial quality, the matter is that eight-bit ill-matched samples. The idea of a recording of the album ripened for a long time – the unique obstacle consisted only in the qualitative accessories allowing crystallize a sound. Such possibility has appeared when there was accessible a semiprofessional sound card and for convenience – the midi-keyboard (all tracks composed from 1997 till 2006 year have been written down by means of usual QWETY-keyboards).
Having got acquainted in 2005 with Andrey Lobatsevich (a code pseudonym «man ufo»), at the next wine-glass of tea the idea of the organization of the joint «project» under the name «eXperiment», caused the concept left in the subsequent on own label «Ambiroad records» (name of this label has been thought kindly up by our friend, creative-man and in combination - the musical critic - Vladimir Kozlov) an album «eXtrasensory» in circulation in 300 copies which part has dispersed, basically, among a close circle of listeners from among friends has been offered. Further, our reflexions have pushed on possibility of the edition of a following joint album on Andrey's (Faryus) label thanks to whom the next portion of a creative has poured out in an album «Source». More conceptual and sated under the maintenance.

Andrey Lobatsevich (man ufo), born in 1972 and on the present I live in Moscow. The hobby for music has appeared since the birth. Parents, having noticed ear for music, have defined me in musical school where I have taken place three classes of game on a piano. In parallel I intensively listened to different styles and directions in music, beginning from a blues and rock-n-roll finishing synth-pop music. Casually in the six years I has heard music Jean-Michel Jarre, which has strongly amazed me. Subsequently I began to search for something similar. The great interest in electronic music was as a result showed. Having gained in the course of time a wide experience in knowledge of the electronic musical culture, many people began to speak «why to you not to create the album». So in 2000 I have based the label «Globus Music Records». In 2003 it has settled itself (himself), in connection with the big competition. Illness of my mother, who wishing to see me the musician, has urged on me to such musical currents as ambient, in which I have taken a great interest since 2003, and also intensively began to collect set of projects in this style. In ambient music for me became favourites such people and projects as Gabriel Le Mar, Michael Kohlbecker (Saafi Brothers), The Infinity Project, Shpongle, Asura, Myosotis, Patchwork, without forgetting as well about such teachers as Brian Eno, Klaus Schulze, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Kraftwerk and Karlheinz Stockhausen, which music has inspired me on the joint project «eXperiment». Last 10 years I basically prefer Goa-trance-Psihodelik music, which actually and has led me to understanding of that musical structure, which I wished to inform to listeners. Throughout many years I tested to find in other kinds of activity, but all has returned to about what my mother spoke. And the attempt undertaken by me on an example of album «Source», I hopes, has turned out rather successful. In the subsequent works there is an aspiration to connect a live sound live with lifeless, and in different musical directions. If to tell about myself in brief actually, I’m a strange music fan, who can listen vinyl-album of Black Sabbath since morning, and in the evening - Amir Baghiri.
